I hear you. I bit the bullet on my 535i because I realized that the 535d was not looking like a reality anytime soon. If BMW brings over the 535d or 735d I will probably trade my 535i in and get one. I really like my 335d....more than I ever thought I would. The fuel economy is just an added benefit.

Herein lies the problem! BMW won't bring the D's if everyone who want's one buys an i when they get tired of waiting! Vote with your wallet and buy one of the dark side diesels - like, uh, a MB 350 Bluetec! You can bet if Bluetec sales spike, we'll see a 535d!

Very true although a MB 350 is so vastly different in driving experience that it might make one go a little "mad" if having expectations of a 35d

With diesel at a $0.70 premium over regular, I think it will be a hard sell to convince many to even consider a diesel.

As I recall Diesel was running about par with Premium, which was about $0.10 above Regular.

It's all relative, the car I used to drive got 18mpg on regular, this one gets a steady 29.5mpg, so about 55% better on fuel that was perhaps 5% more. Now it is about 20% more, still in the winning column.

My vehicle was delivered in Munich last July. It was re-delivered @ Performance Center last September. I never receive that USB. I'll think that portrait is a Christmas gift had it not been this thread.

You got no letter with the portrait explaining the reason for the gift?
